Learn how to cast metal in sand molds using simple techniques and readily available materials. Steve Chastain, a Mechanical and Materials Engineer, shows the beginner how to make a sand mold and then how to hone your skill to produce high quality castings. Written in non-technical terms, the sand casting manuals begine by melting cans over a charcoal fire and end by casting a cylinder head. All for little cost in your own back yard! The Sand Casting Manuals are good for both the beginner and experianced metalcaster.

You'll get a full range of art glass instruction, from traditional leaded stained glass to hot glass-working techniques.

Monty Don puts three more passionate beginners through their paces as they follow their dreams of learning the ancient craft of stained glass. The knowledge of manufacturing glass was brought to Britain by the Romans over two thousand years ago along with the seed of a new religion called Christianity. As this religion flourished and the great cathedrals of the Middle Ages soared up towards heaven, so the craft of stained glass rose to a similarly transcendent level as it strove to tell Bible stories to a largely illiterate congregation while pouring God's light into these Gothic buildings. In this episode, full-time mum Abigail Ross, 40, trainee architect James Wignall, 24, and grandmother Valerie Rolls, 67, take up their places as enthusiastic beginners in a south London glass studio to learn this ancient craft.

The Continuous Casting 2000 symposium maintains the tradition established in 1976 of holding regular events. This millennium event, however, is the first international meeting of the series. The aim is to highlight the importance of continuous casting - of aluminum, copper and magnesium - to the international fabricating industry, focusing on technological advances in all the sectors that are important for the manufacture of high quality continuous cast products.

Component casting has many design advantages, especially when complex geometries are required. There are many options and challenges in producing efficient casting designs, and this publication acquaints readers with fundamental information about how casting design influences casting solidification and how casting solidification influences casting properties. Mechanical property data, especially for dynamic properties, are also described in details for cast iron, steel, and aluminum

Every important facet of casting is dealt with, from the basics of good hand position to the complexities of fly presentation and the double haul. Fishing sequences for trout, bonefish and silver salmon in the Bahamas, Oregon, Florida and Alaska add to the excitement.

Since the inception of the "Modern Ceramics Era," usually defined as during or slightly following World War II, there have been several advances in ceramic processing technology. One of the newest and most prolific of these advances has been the development and implementation of tape casting as a manufacturing process for the production of thin sheets of just about any material that can be produced as a powder. In today's arena, this includes products ranging from metallic electrodes to organic lithium polymer battery components to the more standard ceramic substrate materials
